Incentives and infrastructure — Crucial elements in the build-up of Norway's EV fleet

Electric vehicles play an important role in Norway's efforts to curb greenhouse gas emissions from transport. With more than 13 000 electric vehicles on the nation's roads, Norway is on top of the rank in number of vehicles compared to the number of inhabitants. Explanations for this success are a generous incentive scheme for zero emission vehicles and a fruitful collaboration between the public and private sector. A report on strategy with recommendations for the further build-up of infrastructure was delivered in 2012, which lays the grounds for a national strategy to be delivered within 2013.
